“Loreto proved it was in great form and that it really has a good chance to go up – said sport director Michele Rota – We did well for two sets but then we lost our way. Shame because I think we could have got something more out of it. Congratulations to Loreto who proved it deserved their league position”.

There was one positive note for Crema as Ricardo and Botto made their comeback. Michele Baranowicz should also have totally recovered from his ankle injury for the next games. For the playoffs, the team needs at least one point, which hopefully will come next Sunday against Roma.
